Show Swindling Indians. Chicago, May 5. General Miles yesterday yester-day received dispatches from Bal Wade in Indian territory saying that many Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians had called on him and protested against paying exorbitant fees to an attorney, whom they never employed, to receive their entry papers. These lawyers intruded themselves on the Indians and filed claims for attorneys' fees in the land office, where they were allowed. The Indians In-dians who claim they were defrauded, urged Wade to lay their grievance before Miles, in whom they have confidence but who is powerless pow-erless in the matter. |
